To some, stock photos are a great resource tool. But when it comes to video game stock photos, they are just a great resource of tools. It seems that video game stock photographers (most of which are still woefully trapped in a late '80s Paula Abdul video) will forever believe that gamers are extreme douchebags who live in filthy, fish-eye lensed apartments with little to no furniture. These photographers abduct people of all walks of life and force them, possibly at gunpoint, to perform erratic feats of gymnastic horror while laughing psychotically and holding a game controller. And those are just for the shots that are somewhat based in reality, because trust us, they get way, way worse than that. Need proof? Here are 25 miserable, insane and utterly deranged examples. You've been warned.
